Announcing change of Editors to Gender & Language Journal

[Ana Cristina Ostermann]

We would like to farewell Bonnie McElhinny who has stepped down from her role as co-editor of Gender and Language after a five year term.  As a founding editor her contribution has been valuable for establishing the journal as an important interdisciplinary forum for research on and debates about feminist research on gender and language.  Our heartfelt thanks to Bonnie for all her work which constitutes a tremendous contribution to the strength and vibrancy of the field.  Bonnie will be continuing to support the journal as a member of the Editorial Board.

We also would like to thank Sharon Kelly who has been acting as editorial assistant and will be finishing that role and helping with the transition to an inhouse assistant.

We are pleased to announce that Elizabeth Stokoe, Professor of Social Interaction at Loughborough University, has joined the editorial team.  Elizabeth brings with her considerable experience serving on editorial boards and as an action editor for the British Journal of Social Psychology.  Her appointment as a co-editor for Gender and Language is important for further developing and strengthening the journal.

Ann Weatherall is now nearly two years into her three year term as co-editor.
